Researching Poverty and Vulnerability

To truly support vulnerable families, we must see poverty for what it is—a pervasive risk factor that influences every other domain of a child’s life.

Investing in early intervention, social work training, disability inclusion, and long-term support for care leavers and young carers is essential.

By providing consistent support, fostering independence, and ensuring access to necessary services, social workers can make a substantial difference in the lives of elderly and disabled individuals.
